When you think of the Audi R8 5.2 V10 GT, drag racing an RS6 GT probably doesn’t come to mind, but that’s exactly what Mat Watson of CarWow wanted to do. So, he pit both of these German sports cars against each other in a battle to the end.
However, they do stack up pretty evenly on paper. How so? Power for the R8 GT comes from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 powerplant generating 620 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque, mated to a seven-speed automatic (dual-clutch) gearbox. As for the RS6, it’s powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 engine generating 630 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
